Through education, skills training, and employment supports, we help individuals achieve personal and career success. We aim to help individuals find and obtain meaningful work, that reflects their interests and talents, and provides fair wages and opportunity for future advancement.
Families in Nashville are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of living rises faster than wages. Currently, less than half of Nashville’s workers earn a living wage.
Through blended learning and individualized instruction, our Adult Education program helps adult learners strengthen core academic skills and prepare to earn a high school equivalency degree. Adult learners also have access to our digital learning lab and a wide range of community classes and activities including art, writing workshops, and field trips to local museums.
